I can see you sitting there with your arms folded, looking at your watch...blogs are really hard work for no appreciation. Oh, I'm a big fan by the way, so I have a right to make backhanded comments about your site. nothing the Stripes do will please anyone now. try to play a legendary venue, bring unique merch, play songs that built your reputation as a live performer and you make it sound like he phoned it in.

Although I enjoyed the show, I was disappointed by the aspects mentioned in the review. I saw the WS on their "Elephant" tour at Roseland and they rocked. Although I enjoyed the MSG show, I was somewhat disappointed. I feel that playing the Garden lacks the same intimate fan bonding experience as they provide in a club and it's hard to get an arena crowd involved in the show (although Jack did try). I had great seats, but for those fans across from the stage, the view must have been scant without video screens. I also agree with the "Jolene" comment. A few times it's a novelty, but now it's over played. Anyone know why they didn't play "The Hardest Button"? One of my favorite songs and videos. The merchandise also did suck. I will keep washing my bootleg "Jack and Meg" T-shirt by hand in cold water. Feel free to email me: RockMe23@aol.com I just found this review (only a week later), but I whole-heartedly agree with it.

remember what jack said in his charlie rose interview?
concerts aren’t movies right? if you want a better set, act like its a rock and roll show!

i can only imagine how exciting the 10th anniversary show was, i heard the applause and cheers were deafening. now that is a show where i’m sure jack reciprocated that energy with a great performance and an amazing set of songs.

I just wanted to say this was my first White Stripes show eva' and it was the best! I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and HATE YOU...even though I don't know you! LOL!!1! You've seen and have more experience with them than me, but that doesn't matter! :P :P I wouldn't have any standards of what a good WS show is because like I said - This was my first show! I'm not loyal enough to wait on line for them at a proper venue or actually do any research about them, their principles, or their music. I only know their "hits" and that's what I'd expect from a band that plays at MSG, ok? Who needs albums when you can listen to the radio? It'd hurt my naive lil' head if they added any kind of spontenuity. I'm glad they played like they had a setlist, because if I were front row, I'd climb over to get one LOLOL! What's that line they always talk about in "Little Room"?? I don't get it. The bigger the better, I say! And what's bigger than MSG, right?!? Anyway, I know this is your blog and you have a right to your own opinion but I don't care. You suck. I think my review is better! When I have a love for something, I believe everything it incorporates is great! Guaranteed. The concept of highs and lows are absurd! You're absurd! Ok, Bye! BTW, Big fan of your blog!!1! Hey Laura!

I think it's silly that you think standard set list = pandering or bringing home the dough. I don't understand how one show could turn you into a cynic all of a sudden. It seems like you've been spoiled by all the shows you've been to. Laura aren’t you going to respond to my comment in post #32?
